Bringing Research on Learning to the Geosciences
Cathy Manduca, David Mogk, and Neil Stillings 2004 Science Education Resource Center Carleton College, Northfield, MN
This report summarizes discussions of how research on learning could be used to improve learning in the geosciences that were held in July 2002 at the Johnson Foudnation's Wingspread Conference Center. Twenty geoscience educators, cognitive scientists, and scholars engaged in educational research in other scientific disciplines met for three days to develop an understanding of the current state of research on learning in the geosciences, to identify research questions of high interest, and to develop a plan for fostering improved application of research on learning in geoscience instruction.
